We continue to review the Worlds 2022 group stage. We continue to watch the second day, where TOP Esports and GAM Esports will play in the penultimate match.
The match sign is not the hottest, but there is a nuance here. The fact is that these teams will appear on our screens as part of Worlds 2022 for the first time.
It will be interesting to watch the games of the teams, so let's get started. We figure out who will be stronger in this fight and earn important points for going to the playoffs.
TOP Esports Uniform
TOP Esports will be the clear favorite in this match. The coefficient from the bookmakers for the victory of TOP Esports is 1.06.
Perhaps comments are unnecessary here. The Chinese are ahead of the rest in this match, and this figure is quite justified.
Since we haven't met TOP Esports yet, it will not be out of place to look at the team's path to Worlds 2022. Spoiler: it was quite colorful.
The season for TOP Esports was stable: the team earned 2nd place in the LPL twice, once losing to Royal Never Give Up in the spring and JD Gaming in the summer. Knowing how prestigious the league is in China, such results are very personal.
Speaking of TOP Esports in the Worlds prism, the team is not doing well here. The only appearance of TOP in the most prestigious series of tournaments was in 2020. Then TOP Esports took TOP-4.

The best players play in the TOP Esports roster, as evidenced by their track record. The most iconic performers of TOP Esports are Tian and JackeyLove.
The former won Worlds in 2019 with FunPlus Phoenix, and JackeyLove in 2018 with Invictus Gaming. The latter has accelerated this season in earnest, having made two penta-kills within the framework of the regional league.

The top picks most often were Gwen (9 matches, 66% wins), Sejuani (9 matches, 77% wins), Gnar (7 matches, 100% wins).
In the forest, most often Viego (13 matches, 76% wins), Trundle (6 matches, 66% wins) or Wukong (6 matches, 83% wins).
The mid lane was most often played with Ahri (11 matches, 72% of wins).
Ezrael appeared on ADK (7 matches, 85% of wins).
Supports: Braum (83% win rate at 6 games), Leona (6 games, 66% win rate).

GAM Esports will act as an obvious outsider. The chance of success for the Vietnamese team is estimated at a factor of around 7.
This number is not surprising at all. GAM has about zero chances of winning, and this is taking into account the prescribed data.
GAM Esports is a Vietnamese VCS team. The region is not famous for high-profile achievements and it is not yet possible to compete with China.
The team won the VCS twice, for which they are honored and praised. This allowed them to go directly to the group stage, although it is better for a VCS team to go through the Play-In.
Speaking of GAM's Worlds performances, the club has appeared there twice (2017, 2019). In 2017, the team took 9-11th place, and in 2019 they stopped at the group stage (TOP-16).

- Kati

- Bie
GAM cannot boast of such a strong roster like that of TOP Esports. They don't have the flashy personalities of Tian and JackeyLove, but that doesn't make them worse. GAM needs to be played as a unit, this is their only chance for success.
Heroes GAM Esports
Most often, Gnar was taken to the TOP (11 matches, 72% of wins).
Wukong is honored in the forest (12 matches, 83% of wins)
Corki (6 matches, 100% wins), Galio (4 matches, 100% wins) and Viktor (50% wins with 4 matches) appeared on the mid lane.
Sivir was picked on ADK (11 matches, 81% of wins).
Support Nautilus (6 games, 83% win rate) or Renata Glasc (5 matches, 80% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in these rosters. This fight will be the debut confrontation between the teams.
Match outcome
In this confrontation, I do not expect revelations. As mentioned above, GAM's only chance to win is to surprise in the picks, but even so, it's hard to believe. The game will end at the level of personal performers, in which the Chinese have a great advantage.
Result: TOP Esports win.
